STS082-723-071 (11-21 Feb. 1997) --- The island of Hispaniola appears left center in this wide-angle view, photographed with a 70mm handheld camera from the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Discovery. The prominent cape is Cap-a-Foux, the northwest point of Haiti. The cloud is broken by the mountainous spine of the island. Smoke from bush fires appears in the valleys between the ridges. The coppery tinge of light reflected off the sea surface indicates pollution in the air -- probably industrial pollutants from North America which are typically fed around from the Atlantic seaboard into the Caribbean from the east.
